Pizzitolas Bar-B-Cue
  • Spare Rib: Firm. Tastes like bacon… salty. Hot — Ouch! Need to pull the meat off the bone, but the extra work is worth it.

  • Sides: PS is mustard-based with crushed taters and fresh green onion. Beans are borracho-style. CS

    • Sides: PS is mustard-based with crushed taters and fresh green onion. Beans are borracho-style. CS is creamy and crunchy.

    • Atmosphere: We hit the ‘business lunch’ crowd. Waiting for a table. Busy. Table service is easy on the eyes… and she’s nice too! Mr. Pizzitola encouraged us all to sample his Mom’s famous banana pudding, took us on a tour of the pits, and wouldn’t let us pay for our lunch. Even Longhorns can appreciate HOSPITALITY on such a grand scale. Thanks again, Mr. Pizzitola!

    • Quotable: ‘An Aggie Stronghold’ — X.O.

    • Brisket: More fat = tenderness + flavor. I like it! Salty rub – not much spice; but this is GOOD BRISKET. Course-grained with fat marbled all the way through.

    • Dessert: Mom’s banana pudding is AWESOME! This is a real treat.

    • Sausage: Pork and black pepper mix. Medium ground, but not as firm as William’s. I like the flavor. The casing is a little tough in places.

    • Sauce: Its orange, and served on the side. Tastes like the sauce from a can of Spaghettios. Interesting.
